Sneakers That Defined West Coast Hip Hop

I grew up in South Central in the 80's and 90's and it was mostly Mexicans wearing the Cortez. Blacks were wearing FILA, K-Swiss, Air Jordans, Chucks, Pumas, slippers.

I dream lacing up all these sneakers, growing up. Now got the money and choose to wear Crocs. Thanks for reminding me ,gonna cop them all🖤

the Puma Suedes are not only looking good, but are also very comfortable for a classic sneaker. they are my favorites, together with the Vans Old Skool.

I like how this channel isn’t just stuck on Nike brand and covers all brands 👍

Love that you mentioned the Odd Future Vans. Feel like that’s a shoe that gets overlooked quiet often. The Golf Wang vans with the pink sole were sick too

Sneakers and west coast hip hop 2 of my obsessions

Cortezes are such a beautiful sneaker imo. Something I always loved about west coast gangsters is that they really knew how to keep themselves stylish with good color combinations, ironed clothes and simple designs. As a matter of fact? Because west coast culture was never popular in my country people don't associate these clothes with thugs, I've even had people tell me that I'm well dressed sometimes compared to the actual thugs here. West Coast rap definitely built my fashion tastes but god I love em, I'll take chucks and nikes over any other sneaker for the rest of my life.

I would just like to say I went n seen AIR in theaters after words I say their from 6pm-2am watching your sneaker history videos just because u guys hit the mark on every single topic n shoe u guys talk about I can tell it’s not for money it’s a true passion and it truly shows with every video u guys drop please keep it up 🙏🏽❤️💯
